I think that is the direction I am going to go in also. I've been using setup.py since the beginning since there was no rpm yet.

Been here since 2011, and it's time to clean up the install anyways. On Thursday, February 22, 2024 at 9:13:16 AM UTC-6 Tom Keffer wrote: > There's nothing special about /home/weewx.
